One such group is O2Diesel Corporation, which has developed an ethano

Earlier this month, a company called
O2Diesel Corporation announced it was developing a new type of renewable fuel for the Pentagon. The article, from The Auto Channel, describe this new fuel as a
“cleaner burning alternative diesel fuel” and says it will be made up of 20 percent renewable resources
(apparently it will be 7.7vol% fuel grade ethanol) and will conveniently include the company’s proprietary
solubilizing additive O2D05. The Department of Defense, which is the large
